How can you identify a pedestrian crossing?

Identifying a pedestrian crossing is primarily done by looking for marked crosswalks and pedestrian signage. Marked crosswalks are visually indicated on the roadway and often feature white lines, which help to distinguish safe crossing areas for pedestrians. Additional signage, such as pedestrian warning signs, alerts drivers to the presence of crossings and the potential for pedestrians.

These visual indicators are critical for ensuring the safety of both pedestrians and drivers, reinforcing the importance of remaining vigilant in these areas. While speed bumps, traffic lights, and unmarked areas might influence pedestrian behavior or indicate expected crossings, they do not serve the same clear and recognized role as marked crosswalks and signage in guiding pedestrian movement in a traffic environment.
